Nothing in my email yet, feels like another wendouree situation here.

Charged today. Worked out I am getting 4 of the 7 6'ers I ordered. Looks like I missed the Cabernet and the Shiraz this year... The 4 case will be either the Malbec or Pressings. Hope it's the pressings! the pressing are gone not long after the straight cab. but at least your card is charged. just ...

i dont think they have a system at all, lots of other black stripe still haven't got their credit card charge yet, not just sydney, i have a feeling that everytime they received a whole bag of mail, they just drop them on the floor and starts counting straight away, so doesnt matter how early or la...

When you say 2005 and a highly regarded wine, is it a French wine? Or a very high alcohol wine?

I’m still waiting.

I’m still waiting for my card to get charge. Might end up with a 6 pack of muscat.

Still nothing for me. QLD red stripe. They received my order the 8th July. Not to fussed this vintage TBH. WF gave the 2017 Cab Malbec 95 points for what it's worth and a few of the others some decent scores. Even the 'Pressings' got 94 which is a new wine for me. No haven't I tried 2017 yet!! Once...

Cheers Michael Where are you ordering the Marius from? I thought it came out early September and I can't find an email about it yet. don't bother , it ...

I’m just curious , for people that buys wine in duty free airport, does it bother you if the bottles are standing up when they are a cork bottle? Do you still buy them or would you ask the staff to see if there’s any more stock at the back room that are not standing up?

… i have been offered a bottle as a gift but i always denied/rejected because i knew i can't hand carry that bottle onto the flight. i usually checkin my luggages at the Kowloon station first thing in the morning so any alcohol i have it will be packed on the night before. Hi Dave, Your post sugges...

Dave Yes. This restriction has now been lifted. It’s been the case for about two years. Your duty free will not be confiscated between the boarding gate and the aircraft by security personnel without the ability to reclaim. This was threat specific . Why it’s gone I don’t know but I will ask out of...

Actually, stricter liquid carry-on restrictions for Australian and US bound flights, for about six years, were threat specific and emerged after the UK plot. It goes back to the earlier Bojinka plot, new intelligence and I suspect concerns with staff security at many Asian airports. Liquid items pu...

Any bottle limits for the pressings? Still haven’t received mine in Sydney yet.

Bought 2 bottles of the 2005 from auction around $50 few years ago, waiting for the right time to pop one.

will put this back in the dark holes then.

thanks

Hi all,

looks like this is a right place to ask, anyone tried the following recently?i only have 2 bottles of each so i really don't want to open them if they are still too young?

PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO 2010
BENEVELLI PIERO, Barolo 2007

Sunday auction.

1 x pikes the Merle 2014 mag.

Could of won more 2002 Riesling if their website is more stable. The last 10 mins. Can’t even click in to my watch list.

here is another article on the sydney wine show.

Interesting to see how another judge rates the best trophy wines lower than the wine he actually prefers.

I always open all boxes to check just make sure I have the right quantities for record, and twice I found an extra bottle(I did write a little note and ask to fill up the box if a particular wine is not available.)

Received mine yesterday ,in full.

card charged on monday.

Only 2% of Australians see themselves as upper class. That leaves a lot of very wealthy middle class when you consider wages and the number of million dollar suburbs/streets. So I ask again ? Who drinks premium wine ? Who drinks all the Penfolds in China? The upper class? tao bao sellers and alibab...

I subscribed as a life time membership 10 years ago, after this new update my subscription will end in 2038..I’m only in my mid 30’s ,they predicted I will die after that?!

looks much more like a restaurant wine list to me. look at all those penfolds but no hunter wines, maybe they mixed up the templates for something else?

bin 389 can be found under $50 if you wait, i purchased 2010,2012,2013,2014 less than $50. st henri 2010 ,2012 both less than $60. i vote no because i just received my noon mailing form for the first time.:) (not the waiting list order form). kidding, i'm still interested but it really depends on th...

received my receipt today, usually the wine delivered first, anyway, i got everything(6 each) except straight cab.

i don't have that problem , the last auction i attempted to bid was early this month, the only problem i had was the slow response after i place a bid in the last 30sec, its very obvious that the response time from langton is a lot slower when it gets closer to ending time. just keeps loading.

Dave, what vintage was the Rosehill? I'm also surprised that the sun-baked bottle wasn't ruined. I've tried the freezing test before on a young Riesling (umm... accidentally) with no ill effects.

It was a 2012.

was there a 2012 release? is that cleanskin?

I remember there's a full report on this testing .

I purchased the Houghton jack Mann as well from "you know where" on Easter special , it turned up today and the boxes looks like it's been thrown or squashed . one of the screwcap was damaged and leaked. I wasn't that worried when I saw some of the comments on the other forum, the heat dam...
